Duck and ducklings at Ellesmere

SC153 - Post 29 June - Local Wildlife

This must be a second clutch, as many of the ducklings hatched this year are almost fully grown.

The first Pip is taken by the same lake as the ducklings. A wide assortment of birds collect when visitors feed them on special bird food.

The second Pip is of 2 mating green veined whites, I think, taken on Saturday afternoon in our garden. I noticed what I thought was a clumsy butterfly flitting around, and when 'it' settled, this was the result.
